    CLIMATEGATE HACKERS CHINESE OR RUSSIAN?

    Chinese Hackers May Have Leaked ‘Climategate’ E-mails
    29 December 2009 (Environmental Leader via Reuters)

    "The hacking of computers containing climate change-related e-mails may have come from China, in the hopes of scuttling the Copenhagen climate talks…The hack-job that came to be called “Climategate” initially had been attributed to Russia, which in addition to China had little to gain from a successful Copenhagen.

    "However, the Russian security service released information that allowed the original e-mail traffic to be retraced…According to [sources], the e-mails went through a computer company in Siberia, but originated from a computer in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia."

    "An open-access server run by Malaysian telecom firm Telekom Malaysia Berhad, which supplies internet access to nearby China, was the source of the e-mail leak…Because the open server does not require a password, the company said that it could not identify the sender. That has not stopped speculation that China was behind the leaked e-mails."

    This delightful cartoon uses irony to put all the silliness about the hacked climate science emails in context. But who stood to gain by making the emails public? From markfiore via YouTube

    "The IP address used to post the messages is linked to one used by a Chinese environmental institute, the Research Institute of Forest Ecology and Environment Protection, [sources reported]…Several professors from that institute have shared a platform with the University of East Anglia experts whose e-mails were hacked…

    "Many countries and analysts blame China for blocking the adoption of a climate change treaty in Copenhagen in December. The Copenhagen meeting resulted in a non-binding agreement with specifics to be determined in 2010, which angered the poorest nations and some Western groups who wanted an ambitious commitment…[Some say] China blocked the open negotiations… [and then] made it look like the West failed to help the world’s poor again."
